And since senior year people take stacked classes it makes sense

polar plaza
#

college apps single handedly makes it bad

#

semester 2 is free

#

but semester one is harder than any other semester

jolly granite
#

Well that's if u don't do them in the summer

#

If u start them June or even July it should be that bad

yeah

#

dam!

polar plaza
#

i loved it when i visited

#

i visited a buncha other college

#

but nowhere else clicked

#

visit schools early

#

take notes

#

ask questions

jolly granite
#

Same thing for me with u of i

#

Went their for sci oly state

coarse sigil
#

but my dream college is across the country

How many ap/honors classes should i take sophmore year

jolly granite
coarse sigil
polar plaza
jolly granite
#

It my number 1 pick since it in state and good cs

coarse sigil
polar plaza
#

but id still suggest visiting any schools that you might apply to

#

just to get a taste yk

#

helps you realize what you like and dont like

polar plaza
#

theres so many i states

coarse sigil
jolly granite
#

Realistically about 15 states could be gone we won't notice

polar plaza
#

but since i did ED i pulled out everywhere else

coarse sigil
polar plaza
#

i applied to a lot tho

coarse sigil
polar plaza
#

i hadnt applied to those yet

coarse sigil
#

ah

#

bc u committed

jolly granite
#

I thought dormouth was non binding

#

Or is that MIt

polar plaza
#

any ED is binding

#

early decision

jolly granite
#

No aren't there non binding ones?

#

Or are those different

polar plaza
#

lots of ivys do REA which isnt binding

#

but dartmouth does ED

jolly granite
#

Ah I see

polar plaza
jolly granite
#

Did u applie to any rea or just ed?

polar plaza
#

so rea means you cant apply to any other private schools early

#

i appled to northeastern, umich, and case western early

#

oh and unh

jolly granite
#

Cool

polar plaza
#

i only got case western's result before dartmouth

#

so yh i pulled out of everywhere else

#

im soo glad i didnt have to do the other essays

#

and pay

#

80 bucks a school

#

wtf

#

not cool

jolly granite
#

?

#

I said cool to ur schools

polar plaza
#

you have to pay a fee to send your application in

#

oh lol i was saying it wasnt cool that i wouldve had to spend so much

#

not to ur thing

#

mb

coarse sigil
jolly granite
#

I see

polar plaza
jolly granite
coarse sigil
#

but something nice about the US is, there are a lot of colleges to apply to

jolly granite
#

Hoping that one kid that barely beats u out is sren after u in the admission process

coarse sigil
polar plaza
#

how's your list going

coarse sigil
polar plaza
#

yh

#

unless u got on already??

#

a bit early

lean wigeon
#

Am I gonna regret this?

#

Im in 9th grade right now

unborn vault
#

Yeah its over for you

lean wigeon

#

Its wraps

lean wigeon
#

like on a scale of 1-10

tiny lily
#

lean wigeon
#

should I take some DE's instead

unborn vault
#

Just give up at this point bud

#

Its over

vital olive
#

lowk

lean wigeon
vital olive
#

that schedule isnt' that bad

#

i'd go for it

#

if i could

lean wigeon
unborn vault
#

Its good

lean wigeon
tiny lily
#

It really depends on what youre trying to achive with all tyhose aps

vital olive
#

i mean its max rigor i'm assuming which is what mainly matters

lean wigeon
vital olive
#

on every counselor recc, they have a fill-in-the-box for choosing max rigor vs other levels

tiny lily
#

Yeah as long as youre good with time management, you should be good

vital olive
#

and colleges generally always want to see max unless there are extenuating circumstances

#

yeah

lean wigeon
#

thank you guys

#

final question: what's the hardest of them all per year

polar plaza
#

i thought it asked how they were compared to other students

#

like top 10%, top 5%, top 1% course rigor

#

i cant see how one ap class or honors off would impact it that much, just seems like a pretty major oversight

vital olive
#

there are obviously exceptions but it's advisable to take the max your school offers

#

and obviously one or two honors/aps won't affect it like u said but cutting down on like 3+ will definitely will especially if it's later in hs

polar plaza
#

ok yeah i agree with you

elder eagle
#

So rn im taking trig honors/calculus honors (equal to ap calc a) and we have the opportunity to take the ap precalc test this spring. Should i take it? What college credit will i get? Im taking AP calc BC next year then calc 3 senior year for context

hot dragon
#

if i wanna go into cs

#

should i take ap csa, ap csp, and apush

#

or ap bio, and ap csa

bright turtle
#

Wait why ap bio if you want to go into cs?

#

And apush

magic orbit
#

and only take the ap courses that fit your pathway

#

bio has nothing to do with cs unless you're going into bio engineering

#

take something that might be useful for cs majors

#

like ap calc or ap physics

vernal coral
#

Should I take Math Methods or Specialist Maths?
Planning to study medicine, but if my ATAR isn't high enough, then engineering (probably)

shy wasp
#

guys would i be fine in international as level maths if i took extended math in igcse

elfin hill
#

How should I answer the second question

vernal coral
#

Something like that I guess

forest spoke
#

I took academic history this year. Itโ€™s a little too easy for me. Do you think it would be okay to go up to AP Push ? I took pre-ap history in 9th grade got a A-?

bright turtle
#

Same here cuz I'm gonna take Chem and ap physics 1 next year

coarse sigil
#

my man

#

u are going to die

bright turtle
#

No not ap Chem bc it wasn't offered at my school this year

#

Should I take ap Chem and ap physics 2 or ap bio and ap physics 2 in my junior year?

quartz lark
#

I need advice! What courses should I pick for grade 10 as someone who wants to deal with technology in the future? Also should I do civics and careers during summer?

feral lava
#

And engineering classes will help as well

feral lava

Welcome to the club

#
  • 3-4 other APs
dusk venture
#

imma take them next year in my sophomore year

#

i feel hearing online people say ap chem is hard but the people at my school say its not very different from 10th grade adv chemistry...

#

maybe i school goes overboard with adv chem idk

bright turtle
#

Dang guess we're all gonna start grinding next year

#

what IB courses should I take for aviation?

torn plank
#

so I am currently taking Honors Geometry at my school and I want to take Algebra 2 during the summer through my school's summer program. My math teacher highly not recommends doing so, but It messes up a lot of plans I have regarding college apps and course work. I know Algebra 2 is a heavy course in terms of important content, but at the same time im going to have a lot of time duirng the summer to hone my skills. My goal is to get into precalc

plain hemlock
#

dual enrollment or ap csp?

#

my selection form is due tmrw and i need advice

#

pls

#

i currently have no aps but i wanna do a college elective

plain hemlock
bright turtle
#

Yeah you could be doing much more things since takin summer school takes a lot of time

bright turtle
plain hemlock
#

Just for gpa boost

bright turtle
#

Oh

#

Idk if dual credit give GPA boost

#

But ap csp is pretty easy in my opinion

plain hemlock
#

Ya

#

Imma prob do csp

#

Thx

bright turtle
#

Np but I'm a freshman so I'm not too experienced too bc ap csp was my first ap

bright turtle
#

I am also sort of bc my ap csp would go fast enough that we get to go through 2 units ap csa near the end of the year

frail flax
#

she knows you as a student and would only reccomend you if you accell ingeometry

#

also it will damage ur gpa (i think?)

cinder gorge
#

Hi all. For anybody who has done cs50. Does it go on your permanent record if you fail any courses/ is it worth enrolling?

ancient hedge
#

bro i think my friends are about to die freshman year, here are their schedules:
AP US Gov
AP Seminar
AP CSP
Bio H
Algebra 2 H
French/Spanish H
how fast before they want to commit?

brazen trout
#

im a bio major so im slightly biased

#

French and spanish

#

tho

#

like

#

I dont think that a good idea unless those are intro courses

#

Algebra 2 isnt bad and a very very important math class for all future maths and sciences

#

I wish I didnt have algebra 2 online

#

When I was in highschool I was super behind on those concepts

#

Now in college I look back and see how easy it was ๐Ÿฅฒ

ancient hedge
#

well, lets hope they find it easy too

#

if not, they are cooked

solemn hamlet
#

lmao

brazen trout
#

If you have a simple understand of how the us government works and slight common sense US Gov is easy

#

And at my school CSP was block coding

#

for the first semester atleast

#

but i havent taken CSP in like 4-5 years so its probably changed

ancient hedge
#

yeah

solemn hamlet
#

Im pretty sure csp is just algorithms and computer science theory now

ancient hedge
#

im planning to take csp and csa 11th and 12th grade

brazen trout
#

I still remember my highschool CSP teacher Mr Baker

#

bro was chill asf

brazen trout
#

dropped it after the first test

#

6/20

#

and just TA'd for AP chem

solemn hamlet
#

writing down code sucks tbfh

brazen trout
#

CSA just isnt the type of class for conventional tests

#

You have practice and projects where you get to correct errors and check your work

#

To a test where you have to be right the first time

#

The practice did not translate to the tests

solemn hamlet
#

There is no point to knowing whether the O in System.out.println() is O or o

brazen trout
#

no clue what you're talking about but im sure thats funny as hell

solemn hamlet
#

well wut language did you have your csa in

brazen trout
#

Java

solemn hamlet
#

How does one print to the console in Java?

brazen trout
#

I fully commited to the premed track after that class drop dude I have no idea what print to console even means

brazen trout
#

Actually now that I remember

solemn hamlet
#

It's the equivalent to print () in another language

brazen trout
#

I was doing computer programming because I didn't want to take spanish and thought learning a programming language would be a subsititue

solemn hamlet
#

LMAO

brazen trout
#

Spanish would have been easier

#

And more useful

brazen trout
#

my advice to everyone is finish spanish in highschool cause now i gotta take it in college and its way harder

solemn hamlet
brazen trout
#

the 2 times I was reviewed by quality assurances was with a spanish speaking patient

#

The language barrier causes alot of problems

#

it depends on what u want to do

#

but lord basic spanish woulda saved me alot

#

is ap world history or ap human geography worth it in freshman?

take ap world

then apush

glass sinew
#

what IB courses should I take for aviation?

#

physics definitely. math aa as well

#

otherwise there aren't that many subjects you absolutely need

maybe just stuff to make you look unique?

#

also being bilingual is cool

modest sluice
#

would it be smart if I take ap csp and ap csa or should i take them in different years

vestal crypt
#

CSP is a pre-req to CSA sometimes tho

#

school dependent but CSA is better

#

only do both if either
A. CSP is a prereq
B. You want to be a computer science major

dreamy maple
#

I just went over the AP world history syllabus and it seems like the course cover a lot of things. For those of you who have experience with AP world, do you think it's better to take Global 10 with one moderate difficulty AP class or just AP world?

It varies on school

vestal crypt
#

my school doesnโ€™t do advanced for everything because lets say 2/5 sections are advanced. If you are in all advanced its very limiting in terms of schedule making and course conflicts

#

but if there are 5 sections you could be in then it will fit into schedules better

#

also i said all as advanced as possible

solemn hamlet
# halcyon tulip what is better AP or college course (local)

AP --> College Credit, Higher Weighted GPA (Dw about your school's calculation, colleges will re calculate)
College course --> Generally, applications don't weigh these as high as APs, but they might have a better curriculum/ topics, and the weightage difference depends between colleges

#

College credits only matter if that course would be a part of your college curriculum though

brazen trout
#

At my school 4 is enough but Iโ€™d do 5 for safety

I donโ€™t I should do Spanish honors next year. Iโ€™m currently a freshman, taking Spanish honors this year. I got a B+ (87) first semester, and I want to get into a good college (so I canโ€™t really be getting Bโ€™s). The current semester is 25% done, and Iโ€™m doing better with a 94 (A). I donโ€™t know if I want to do Spanish honors next year, though my teacher recommended me for it. Here are the pros and cons to doing it:

Pro:

  • Lower chance of getting a B

Cons:

  • Colleges donโ€™t like when I drop down

Pls ping me for advice or I wonโ€™t respond, thanks!

I'm going into junior yr btw, im wavering between computer science or psychology

but im probably doing ap cs or ap psych outside of school

tidal glacier
#

Wait, so am I allowed to do AP SS course in 10th grade and drop back to honors? Or should I refrain form that beacsue it looks bad on your application? Like I will be doing other APs but its just an exmaple

solemn hamlet

solemn hamlet
#

Social science, right?

#

colleges dont care if you do AP Macroeconomics and then do US History Honors in the next year

tidal glacier
solemn hamlet
#

It doesnt matter for bigger subjects

#

obv there is no point to take honors maths after ap calc bc

#

but not for social science which has multiple subjects within it

#

plus even if you do, there is no reason for colleges to mind, unless you fail the AP course I suppose

#

that will look bad even if you take AP again the next year

solemn hamlet
tidal glacier
solemn hamlet
#

an honors history course

#

after an ap eco course

#

why should a college care?

#

if you can take an AP, take it, and ofc, APs look good on apps, but there is no downside to going from an AP Social science course to an honors course

#

especially if your school doesnt offer APUSH

the issue is that all 10th grade students have a gym requirement, but there is sometimes an option to take gym independently to be able to take another class. In my case this statistics, if Iโ€™m forced to do gym then I canโ€™t take stats.

*Iโ€™m taking AP stats because Iโ€™m a strong writer, and stats in math are my strong point. If the counselor says no to AP Stats, I will switch it out with geometry and drivers education.

If I plan on going to medical school should I take anatomy and physiology or would that be a waste of time

#

Iโ€™m in high school btw and taking it for dual enrollment

#

I also plan to take AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Psych, AP Lang, AP Stats sophomore year, and possibly AP Calc or Physics like online.

ocean smelt
#

maybe do the next bio course this summer so you can have more space for other classes

#

also try to get a medical internship because those are deal breakers

unreal sphinx
#

I will be keeping up with biology and studying it

#

I mean hell there is a possibility it will be my major

#

Itโ€™s either pre med, biology, health sciences, or some bio medical science major.

#

(Depends on each school I apply to and what their majors are)

ocean smelt
#

great!

unreal sphinx
#

Mind looking at that

#

Since nobody will answer ๐Ÿ’€

unreal sphinx
#

You also might want to consider if AP calc is approved to remove AP CSP

#

Itโ€™s not worth it

#

Like colleges wonโ€™t really take credit for csp

#

Itโ€™s not like a coding class

#

Like if you want to code and get hands on with what computer science is take AP CSA

#

Donโ€™t waste your time with csp and pre calc ap

#

@toxic bobcat

toxic bobcat
#

but yeah I know AP pre calc is bullshit and useless

#

in fact, the reason they wonโ€™t simply let me skip pre calc to take calc is because they just added AP pre calc for the next school year and theyโ€™d โ€œhate for me to miss out on such a great opportunityโ€

#

previous years kids could just study pre calc over the summer but now that they added ap pre calc they think Iโ€™ll be properly challenged in that class

#

which I doubt

#

my main goal is to take as many AP as possible (which is usually 2-3 for advanced track sophomores, but if I can skip gym then Iโ€™ll be able to do 4) so I can get highest gpa possible

unreal sphinx
#

I see what your saying

#

My school is weird asf too

#

I guarantee you they will push the gym

#

Wait let me ask you this @toxic bobcat

#

Is gym required every year at your school?

#

Like what grade levels is it required at besides sophomore year

#

?

toxic bobcat
#

Weโ€™re required to have 1.0 credits of physical education for graduation. All freshman are put in a 0.5 credit health class, and all sophomores are put in a 0.5 credit PE class

#

I lift weights and run most days of the week, and I eat a healthy diet. Gym class is completely unnecessary for me

unreal sphinx
#

Yeah my school is weird like that too. We are required to do PE twice between 9th and 11th grade. Health is required 10th grade and 12th grade too.

#

Hereโ€™s an idea for ya though..

#

Email your counselor and ask if you can do PE junior year instead of sophomore year

#

It is probably best choice to push it a year if possible

#

Yes, you will be in a class with all sophomores. Will it help you get what you want though? Yeah.

#

If the counselor says no to pushing it off. Just wait to hear back about the calculus then make a choice of what to switch out accordingly.

toxic bobcat
#

Thing is I actually know 2 guys doing gym โ€œasynchronouslyโ€ where they just do the gym class at home and receive the credit for it which is what I ideally would want to do. However those guys did it so theyโ€™d be able to do band class so idk if sheโ€™ll let me do it just for an extra AP

#

but Iโ€™ll ask later this week

unreal sphinx
#

Yeah, I would ask about doing it asynchronous first. If she says no, bring up my idea about pushing it a year.

#

What do you plan to do after high school btw?

#

@toxic bobcat

#

I really think personally taking honors pre calculus is the way to go over AP

#

then doing AP calc ab your junior year

#

Which by doing honors pre calc it should free up enough space for gym

#

Thatโ€™s if she declines the skip pre calc request

toxic bobcat
#

in college

unreal sphinx
#

I would suggest for sure taking AP physics c electricity and magnetism at some point

toxic bobcat
toxic bobcat
unreal sphinx
#

Definitely do physics 1

toxic bobcat
#

yeah I will junior

unreal sphinx
#

And also perhaps seek out community colleges near you

#

Have you heard of duel enrollment before?

unreal sphinx
#

I just donโ€™t think ap pre calc is worth it

toxic bobcat
#

my plan was to do AP calc AB and AP stats in 10th, calc BC in 11th, then a college math course in 12th

unreal sphinx
#

Multivariable calc Iโ€™ll assume in 12th

toxic bobcat
#

Yeah calc 3 or lin algebra

unreal sphinx
#

Iโ€™m also doing ap stats next yr

#

True

toxic bobcat
#

i doubt it since the exam is useless and wonโ€™t give credit

unreal sphinx
#

Itโ€™s just worth dropping to honors pre calc tbh

toxic bobcat
#

thatโ€™s why iโ€™m gonna do the AP version

unreal sphinx
#

He needs room for gym tho

toxic bobcat
#

hold up iโ€™ll send a pic of my schedule

unreal sphinx
#

At least at my school AP classes are 1.50 credits and regular and honors classes are 1 credit

#

But idk how is school works

#

The issue is he needs room for gym

#

So something has to go

toxic bobcat
#

I need 7 credits I currently have 6.5. If gym gets removed Iโ€™ll have room for AP stats

#

I just need my counselor to lock in for me

#

๐Ÿ™

#

there are 8 periods in the day, one of which is lunch

#

7 academic credits

unreal sphinx
#

This is my schedule for next year

#

If my counselor says no to AP stats Iโ€™m switching in geometry and drivers education

#

My school is so weird with the math

toxic bobcat
#

it should be stats, but technically right now itโ€™s .5 of gym then I need another .5. But i donโ€™t wanna do that

unreal sphinx
#

I wonโ€™t make it to Calc without doubling maths and shit

#

Yeah thatโ€™s his issue

#

Gym is enforced

#

For him

toxic bobcat
#

for the most part but thereโ€™s a chance I can get around it

#

Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m hoping yea

#

Iโ€™ll email on tuesday

#

after the long wknd

#

schedule submissions due by march 1st

unreal sphinx
#

Iโ€™m nervous to ask my counselor about AP stats on Tuesday

#

I already went there once about course selection

toxic bobcat
#

my school requires alg 2 before stats

unreal sphinx
#

So does mine

#

But I want to see if I can take it with Alg II

toxic bobcat
#

luckily iโ€™m taking that now in 9

unreal sphinx
#

She may let me take it concurrently

#

They allow that with physics Ik

#

So itโ€™s worth a ask

#

Other wise Iโ€™ll be doing three APs my junior year

#

Which I donโ€™t want to do

toxic bobcat
#

what math u in rn?

unreal sphinx
#

Yeah

#

Alg I

toxic bobcat
#

oh damn that makes it harder

unreal sphinx
#

But Iโ€™m very advanced with stats

#

Bc im trying to take AP stats over geo this year

toxic bobcat
#

geo is probably a requirement on the math path

#

usually itโ€™s alg 1> geo > alg 2> pre calc> calc

unreal sphinx
#

Then doing geo 11th and maybe pre calc, other wise 12th grade pre calc and honors calc

#

My school doesnโ€™t have an option for it

#

Like only like duel enrollment shit

toxic bobcat
#

if you could do it starting now online you could ask about taking an exam at the end of this year to pass out of it

unreal sphinx
#

It would be one per semester

toxic bobcat
#

thatโ€™s what I hope to do with pre cal

unreal sphinx
#

My school doesnโ€™t do classes full year except APโ€™s

#

Every class is one semester except APs

#

Yeah

#

My school weird asf

toxic bobcat
#

even like english and stuff?

unreal sphinx
#

Yep

#

Only core classes

#

And electives are .5 1 senster

#

*semester

#

Eh

#

Itโ€™s not too bad tbh

#

I just question how all the material is given

#

For sure

#

Which is not beneficial

#

Oh man

#

Brutal

#

Is geo hard btw?

robust carbon
#

theirs also proofs in geo

#

which can make or break the subject depending on the person

#

completely new stuff also

#

fr skull_cry

#

geo is less math focused for me

#

at least for now

#

mainly just concepts and stuff to remember

cinder gorge
#

Just a random question, do you think AP chem and normal physics in 1 year is too rigorous?

#

I saw my older brotherโ€™s schedule

robust carbon
#

uh

#

depends on the person and other classes you have

#

teachers too

#

but you could do it

#

might look bad for normal physics idk mnm_shrug

so Iโ€™m planning to be a business major with the current dilemma

AP bio is 2 credits, compared to Honors Bio which is 1 credit

Due to this extra credit being taken I donโ€™t have space for classes like accounting, marketing, investment/banking (half year classes, so with the freed up space I could take 2 of the following)

Is it worth it to do AP bio over the alternatives?

My friends told me AP bio due to the gpa boost and diversifying my academics. But Iโ€™m not sure.

# cinder gorge Is it good for Georgetown?

i think colleges mostly tend to have a holistic approach on college apps, so im not sure about it. it would be good if theyโ€™re some of the most academically challenging courses in your curriculum.

#

since the acceptance rate is so low, it would honestly depend on your major.

No other way bro DE is easier than AP

#

Yea

#

Plus no standardized test at the end of the yr

#

Sure

#

But why take an AP and then not take the exam

#

Stupid

#

The class itself is hard

#

Why take ap csp in the first place

#

Uh why not

#

Then just DE

#

So?โ€ฆ

#

I mean you can

#

Its ez

#

No cuz i wanted to take ap

#

Its better for colleges

#

Unless youโ€™re applying to your instate public school

#

Yeah but it wouldnt make sense to not take the exam

Why do you say that lol, again give me proof that thats the case

#

Honestly my path is very confusing I took algebra 1 and half of geometry in 8th grade, in the summer i took the other half of geometry and then right now in 9th grade I'm takign algebra 2 and AP precalc in the same class. My school keeps changing it's mind on what class i'm allowed to take next year so I just put one.

full tinsel
#

So I might as well take the exam

#

Goddamn

unborn vault
#

Regardless of whether or not you get credit

full tinsel
#

Well

unborn vault
#

Bro still looks good

#

Dont matter

full tinsel
#

Should I DE precalc over rhe summer

#

If its easy why not take the test
